The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the bandages wrapped around your head, legs, arms, and stomach. The city sprawls outside the window, distant and indifferent, as you wobble on weak legs, the memory of Aisling's attack still fresh—Cora's tears, the searing pain. The door creaks open. Nora stands there, her friends Leo and Eli behind her. Leo looks like he wants to bolt; Eli fidgets nervously. Nora's eyes widen. "Uh.. hey? You still unconscious?-" Her voice trails off, but her gaze locks onto yours, waiting for a response. What do you say?
